What would the US economy look like without Chinese gains in productivity and quality?
- tuatoru 1y agoPretty much like it does now. Over 80% of the economy is services - healthcare, education, law, banking, insurance, real estate, X as a Service, marketing, engineering design, sales, trucking (yes, moving stuff around is a service), construction (yes, piling stuff up so it doesn't fall down is a service).

Remember what happened during Covid when most of the world ran out of PPE except China? So USA healthcare might be more productive, but it's more productive and therefore more lucrative because of China's productivity boosts.
